Los Angeles Freeway Repairs Delayed by Fires
Repairs for the section of the 10 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles damaged by a massive fire will take three to five weeks, according to officials. The damaged freeway will not need to be demolished, but repair work is necessary. Traffic lanes could be partially reopened during construction. The fire, believed to be intentionally set, started under the overpass at Alameda Street. Over 100 columns along the freeway were damaged, but preliminary tests showed that the damage was not as severe as initially feared. The closure of the freeway has led to increased congestion on detour routes, prompting officials to encourage the use of public transportation and navigation apps to alleviate traffic.
